PROHIBITION PARA
GRAPHS.
1.-The Devil Quoting Scripture. y

on fast days; but iathers oi ia"-
lilies, women and even girls, had
no hesitation about getting drunk OH
feast days."
The preachers of the new "True
Blue Anheuser Busch Church is 60
ing about, Bible in hand, to try to
convince the people, it would seem,
that it is not only their right, buttheir
duty, perhaps, to got drunk whenever
they please. This is clear case OF
"The Devil quoting Scripture!" 1t
won't do parson of the Blue Busch;
that argument will never do.
Some good it is to be hoped, Will,
however, result from the present earn
est study of the Bible by the "True
Blues !" though their search at pres
ent seems to have for its only object
the establishment of their unright-
eousncss as righteousness
POLITICAL SORE HEADS.
The "antis" charge the 'prohibs"
with being disgruntled sore heads"
because of defeat for Office. Pray, look
at the Dallas "True Blue Convention
VINO called it TO order? A defeated
aspirant for congress. Who presided
over it's deliberations? A defeated as
pirant for governor. Who was the
second prea, gun of delivery? A de-
feated aspirant for U. 5. senator.
WHY continue? Look over the list
of members and see how many ofthem
are defeated aspirants for Office.
NOT A NEW LEADER OF THE BLUE.
The great anti-railroad orator of
Austin denounced, pretty much all
over the State last year, one of the DaI-
las convention Of the "Blue Busch
Church" as having. been false to Texas
in her hour OF greatest need: and here
he comes against the pure white rib
bon order! Well, we will have 20 fight
him again.
The said g. a. +. +. o. has announced
that he intends to "hoid the fort" in
Travis county against the entire white
ribbon order, women and all !. You.a.
w. t. not TO try. You can't make an
Alamo out of blue Busch Church"
beer barrel. Who is going to fight,
! bleed and die for beer?
CHILDYARDs VS.. VINEYARDS.
Chid-garden is the beautifully ex-
pressive name given by Froebcl to
special schools for little children,
likening them, in Scripture language,
to "plants growing up in their youth"
Vineyards are fields for cultivating
Qrapevines for the sake OF their fruit.
Our schools may be regarded as child
yards, where our ingenious youth are
cultivated, developed aud prepared
for the duties of citizenship, good
citizenship being the fruit sought.
Which should be preferred, the vine
yards or the childyards? The liquor
traffic has arrayed them in opposition.
Let us save the fttcst The great OBJ
iect of prohibition is to save the
young of the present and of future
generations from the blighting curse
of the drink habit, so that the time
may come when no child shall be
drunk -begotten, drunk-born, drunk
aAd-rcarcd. Shall Texas become one
vast beer garden for the consumption
of the Anheuser- Busch Company's
products? What will be the fruitage
OF that garden? Want, wretchedness,
woe and all their fr'ghtiul conse-
quences. Down with the beer barrel
and the whisky bottle!
us PROHIBITION so VERY UNDENTO-
CRATIC?
Rhode Island has recently gone
Democratic, whilst Kansas, Iowa aud
Maine arc daily becoming moro Demo
cratic. These are prohibition States
Michigan, which is nearly prohibition,
is also nearly Democratic. High IL
cense Illinois is becoming more
strongly Republican, is il not! .
The South, always moro temperate
than the North (see United States
statistics) has always been the strong
hold of Democracy, and the more
temperate it becomes the more thor
oughly Democratic il is. Democratic
